Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Fox News Has Divided America In a Way Not Seen Since the Civil War By Noel Sheppard Created 12/08/2012 - 11:13am
Robert F. Kennedy Jr said of Fox News Friday, "It's divided our country in a way that we haven't been divided probably since the Civil War."
This occurred during an online video interview with the Huffington Post (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR: There’s two things happening. One is the influence of big money in politics, and the other is the right-wing control of the American media, particularly starting with Fox News. 95 percent of talk radio in our country is right-wing, and you need, according to Pew survey, and you, so a whole section of our country that that’s what they’re hearing. They wake up in the morning, when they go to bed at night.
Twenty-two percent of Americans say their primary news source is Fox News. I think that that has, that has, it's divided our country in a way that we haven't been divided probably since the Civil War, and that it’s empowered these large corporations to get certain kinds of politicians and ideologues who are in the United States Congress elected - the Tea Party ideologues who control the Republican Party.
This is pretty hysterical considering President Obama met with representatives from MSNBC Tuesday to discuss tax policy.
It seems a metaphysical certitude Kennedy doesn't see anything wrong with that.
Obama won, because a Leftist educational climate has given a great many young American Whites a guilt complex because their forefathers out achieved every other people on the earth--as insane as that is to feel guilty about.
Who had divided America? (See Losing America's Multi-Generational Purpose.)
The idea that Conservative Americans should not resist the betrayal of their beliefs, interests & heritage, is insane. The idea that but for a news service that at least covers both sides of some issues--unlike most of the major news services, that absolutely refuse to--is to blame for that resistance, is pure paranoid delusion.

Has America not endured enough of the Kennedy family over the last 60 years. How long are You going to torture us with this family?
Change their hearts and turn them from politics. Let them find a final resting place on Cape Cod and bring all of them peace at last from the sins of their fathers. Amen
Yes, when is that money going to be taxed? Yeah, right.
I notice the Kennedys have taken more to being champions of environmentalist whacko causes rather than blathering about poor people. It’s a win-win for them, because they don’t have to associate with any riff-raff now.
This dork does lots of drugs, yes?
I once watched MSNBC one whole evening. FoxNews gots nothing on that level of divisiveness. RFK, Jr. is everything his father was: an idiot, a liar, a patsy, an adulterer, and a non-intellectual.
Several memoirs report that RFK slept with his brother’s wife after JFK’s death. And he took sloppy seconds to JFK’s girlfriends up until then. RFK knew, as the U.S. A.G., that massive voter fraud got his brother elected and yet he did nothing. It was a coup that was no less evil than Castro’s at the time.
These are not men to give respect, nor honor. And their children are worthless and contemptible, at best.
Of course, rich boy. Take away everyone’s freedom of political expression and we’ll all sing a commie kumbayah.
Without his family’s money and paid security this trickle-down Kennedy would be a wet stain on the highway of life.
RFK JR FOAD!!!!
My loathing for the Kennedy’s reached a new low when I just recently learned that Pappy Joe had his daughter Rosemary lobotomized. I knew she had been placed in a hospital in Wisconsin because of mental disability, but I never knew until recently the cause of the disability was a lobotomy. The only ones who ever visited her were her mother and her sister Eunice. Pappy Joe, JFK, RFK, Ted, and the rest of the Kennedy’s never bothered to see her. To them she no longer existed. It’s said that the Kennedy Curse began after the lobotomy.
This is just another indicator that the democrat strategy is not to win but annihilate Republicans. They are willing to commit lies that can be easily be discovered in order to do this. why? They already have the votes to get most of what (it would appear) they want.
No, this indicates to me they want to go so far to the left that they see problems even with a whipped Republican Party. I fear this may be further to the left than European style socialism.
If I remember correctly, the had her lobotomizied because she embarrassed the family by sleeping around. You know...just like what her brothers and father did.
It’s going to sound a little strange, but I in-part chalk this up to self-loathing on Kennedy’s part here.
He is the sinner, who doesn’t want to be confronted with truth.
He’s got most major newspapers, most major networks, most radio stations... The fact that he still isn’t happy says more about him that it does the other side.
Once again we are confronted with a simple truth. Socialism cannot survive without silencing all opposition.
Sooner or later, the oppression is absolute.
Funniest Title of the day!
If JFK were alive today he would have disowned all his relatives by now and would’ve been a conservative Republican by today’s standards.
If this were not so pathetic a smear effort; it would be laughable. No question; of course; Fox News; on their 'hit list'; as is anyone else; who speaks the truth. Miserable folks - just got worse - post Election, 2012.
You SOB liar. Just because you commie’s can’t control ALL media.
“OH GOODNESS.....a Kennedy is trying to become relavent...they’ve been quiet too long....And what kind of a business has this kennedy begun, operated and retired from, or is he living off the remains of his grandfathers offshore investments and the government? Funny how these holier than thou are so free with comments.”
He invested heavily in Abound Solar, the one that got $700 million in government money and then went bankrupt.....
Do what? Do these guys EVER get tired of lying?
